Jetpacks could be the future of backcountry rescues, helping first responders in hard-to-reach places.
“Could you just add the missing component to a human being, which is horsepower in order to fly? It turns out, you can!” laughed Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot forHis first working model of the jet suit got off the ground in 2017. Now, he’s finding all sorts of new applications for what he called “the magic carpet” ability the suits provide, moving over any kind of terrain incredibly quickly.
Charley Shimanski is here to bring some of those high-flying dreams back down to Earth, at least in a sense. Among many things, he’s an education director with the Mountain Rescue Association. He said first and foremost, he would love to try out the jet suits in Colorado. Aside from concerns about a combustion engine flying over some of the driest parts of our state, combined with concerns over altitude and how that would affect the flight of a paramedic, Shimanski said he’s focused on the cost vs. the benefit of the whole operation.
Still, when push comes to shove, Shimanski couldn’t help but be curious about the possibility of sending paramedics jetting up the side of a mountain to get to victims in record times.
